Early career
He started composing music while in high school under the name of Dj Jib. While in high school he collaborated musically with his friend Alex Yabsley aka “Protestah” at the time but is now known under the name Dot.AY. The collaboration projects between the two were known under the name of Fiber Optic Cable, FOC for short. They produced 6 tracks together which they released on their own separate albums.[3]
He then moved to Melbourne to study Audio Engineering. While there he collaborated with film students on their short films, working on the sound and music. He carried this film interest after completing his studies and works on musical composition and sound design for film and TV shows in Australia.[4]
Earnest Irony

Earnest Irony is a knowingly genre naive studio band formed by Evan Kitchener, with his brother Justin Kitchener. Jared Brown is a long time contributor to the band but not one of the founding members.
The band was formed in 2004 with just one acoustic guitar, one snare drum and one microphone. They recorded a handful of raw improvised tracks and the band Earnest Irony was created. The next year they setup a recording studio in their old empty house and “Old House Studio” was born.
There has been a recording session there every year since, and so far 5 albums have been recorded.[5]
